Cost Optimization

Ongoing work to keep an AI agent’s running costs reasonable, by watching usage and fixing anything wasteful.

Cost optimization means actively managing what an AI agent costs to run, rather than letting usage climb unnoticed. This can include reducing unnecessary token usage, choosing a more efficient model for a given task, or catching a misconfigured agent making far more requests than it needs to. It’s included in AI Abstraction’s managed hosting reporting.
